I was very confused when I was getting ready to lift my truck due to all the positive and negative comments on the 4”-4.5” lifts, I decided to go with the Maxtrac 4.5” spindal/rear coil kit! Have to say couldn’t go wrong with this set up, I was able to fit 35x12.50r20 on my stock wheels and looks great, I don’t have a need for a 4x4 so altered my 2wd

Looks awesome...

I'm in the same boat. I'm looking to lift my truck but not sure what's best. Lots of good info on here.

Truck looks great ! Can I ask what are your measurements to the bottom of your fenders and top of your running boards so I know how large of a step it is to get into the truck? Any complaints since you did the lift? How do you like the ride?

This is my '14 2wd. I just installed the CST 4" spindles and 1.5" poly rear spring spacers, kinda wish I would have gone a little higher in the back. The truck does sit level by tape measure, but it just looks a little nose high. The kit installed easily and the ride is just like stock, pretty much everything the other replies said. It did widen the front stance by 1.5" in addition to the wheel offset and 35's, so I went with the 2500 fender flares to tuck some of it in.
